Multiple | Aged | 40% ABV | Pot and Column Still Distilled

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary rum is a combination of pot-stilled and column-stilled Barbadian rums that are initially aged in the Caribbean in ex-bourbon casks for 12-20 years. They are then transported to France for a second 12-18 months aging in small French oak casks.

The first bottle of Plantation XO 20th Anniversary was created for the head of Cognac Ferrand Estate Alexandre Gabriel to honor his 20th year running the company. This special gift has resulted in the bottling we see today.

Très doux, mais avec quand même une profondeur prêt une longueur tout à fait respectables ainsi qu'un léger côté boisé très intéressant.

Quite good, especially for $50 or so a bottle. But I feel like I’ve had better for cheaper. Sooooo… it’s a bit tough to pin down, for now

UPDATE 07-26-21
I have to nudge this down a bottle to an 8. The more rums I drink, the more simplistic and one note this tastes to me. Also, it is still on the sweeter side of my personal preference. Don't get me wrong, it's a good rum, just not as much my preference as other rums, and it is a bit over priced for what it is.

ORIGINAL REVIEW
What is there to say that hasn't already been said? I am not a big fan of sweeter rums but my wife is. Papa's Pilar and Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva being a couple of her favorites. So, picked up a bottle of this to try and all I can say is WOW! This has so much going on in the aroma and flavor palette that it is a party for your tastebuds. There are all kinds of tastes and hints of toasted coconut, toffee, orange, vanilla, warm baking spices, and so much more. The oak is there but very subtle and the finish is long and yet very smooth, not too sweet but definitely not dry either.
This drinks above its price point for sure. Heavily recommended for sipping neat or with a cube of ice or in an Old Fashioned. Way too good to mix.
Go get you some!

This rum is just sweet enough with a straight ahead and complex flavor and aroma. I find myself
Craving this rum over all others though sometimes it can be a little overly sweet straight up. The oak and vanilla aromas really bring something special to this rum and the beautiful bottle takes the experience to the next level. Love it.

Lika spännande som flaskans utformning. En helt okej rom med lagom styrka och sötma.

The smell is pure roasted coconut with riped tropical fruits. The taste is perfectly balanced between the sweetness of the vanilla/banana flavours and the roasted coconut. On the long run the wooden chocolate notes strike but is well equilibrated with the sweetness.
An overall really good and balanced rhum with the perfect amount of generosity.

Rum s jedinečnou chutí tropického ovoce, vanilky a náznakem karamelu.

It was definitley a delicious rum, but I saved it for a special occasion and thought it was going to be much more than it was. It is very smooth and sweet but felt almost a little fake sweet. Not a whole lot of different flavors going on. I will def buy again though.
